    In The Bright Lord, you play as Celebrimbor back when he was still alive and fighting Sauron. You learn about his backstory in a different perspective and a lot of details are revealed. Unlike the main game and Lord of the Hunt, The Bright Lord is focused more on story, with the Warchief hunting revolving around it (instead of being the sole focus). The gameplay mechanics are similar and most upgrades are unlocked. The enemies are significantly harder than before, forcing you to play smarter and less Rambo. There is also a strong emphasis on stealth and enemy branding.

    I enjoyed this DLC because of its fresh story and difficult combat, even if was just a rehash. Like the first DLC, it wasn't that lengthy, although some boss fights were tedious. The final boss fight dragged on longer than it should've but it's not a big deal. The cheesy dialogue from Celebrimbor could've been improved as well. Overall, I would say that for a DLC, it warrants an 8 from me.    … Expand

    The idea of letting us play the legendary Celebrimbor was a great one, that probably deserved a better treatment (maybe even a complete game), rather than a flimsy and pretty short DLC.
